M29 with a touch of H alpha

[Stevec35]

When I recently posted an image of this open cluster in Cygnus there seemed to be a fair bit of nebulosity in the field. I therefore hit it with 200 minutes of Ha the other night and this is the result. There is a fair bit going on in that field.

Cheers

Steve

The Ha region certainly add to the shot. Very smooth with great colors. Top field. :thumbsup:

excellent Steve. Exactly what Marc said. The Ha is the cherry on the cake :thumbsup:
Oh love the lighter dust sections and black lanes too:thumbsup:

That's a nice image Steve - nice colour work and great to see an open cluster as well!

Thanks David

Looks good Steve, but I wonder how far you could stretch it to bring out those dark globules. Perhaps more time would give the result?

[Stevec35]

Thanks Paul. What you say is quite true and I might go back to get some more data at some stage. M29 was never a high priority target though but just something to do while I waited for something else to rise.

A very worthwhile result then Steve and quite interesting too :thumbsup:

You are composing more images with foreign data than home grown these days.

Thanks Mike and you know why that is? I'm having mount problems at the moment which will hopefully be resolved soon.
